Just to quickly clear up any confusion, no, I don't meant the bug was so Snake Plissken cool that it was literally "badass," I mean the bug was related to Borderlands 2's Badass Ranking system. Many a player reported the loss of Badass tokens as a result of the glitch. What's more, the challenges done to get the tokens in the first place was still marked as completed, meaning players couldn't go back to re-earn their tokens. A true badass bummer.
The latest Borderlands 2 patch aims to make this a thing of the past, as well as numerous others. The complete patch notes for both PS3 and 360 versions are listed below, courtesy of Gearbox Software Support.
XBOX 360 PATCH NOTES
General
- Modified profile behavior to better protect Badass Rank and related data.
- Added functionality to detect and restore Badass Rank in the event it was lost. To ensure you are credited for as much progress as possible, please load your character, select "Continue" on the Main Menu, and then "Save and Quit" after you enter the world. Repeat this process for each character in your character list.

This option will appear as a tooltip at the bottom of the "challenges" screen within the status menu if the player has met the criteria.
